Not recently been to Universal Studios, but was there during the National Day public holiday back in Aug. The park was crowded, but everything was under control. Some rides, eg, rollercoasters, didn't have to wait long to board. Seems like most people were at the Transformers ride, but everything went ok.

However, the food places will be overflowing with people. Don't say I didn't warn you....

On 26th December, do expect a big crowd as the local school holidays are on and also, its tourist season! Waiting time for the popular rides can be up to an hour or even longer. Although S$ 50 per person is a big amount, it may make sense to go for an Express pass as that will dramatically cut your waiting time. A thing to note that even with an express pass, you cannot take the express lane more than once for each ride. (If you want to take a ride for the 2nd time, you have to stand in the normal queue).

You can mitigate the long queues to some extent by getting there as soon as it opens in the morning, but because of the holidays, it won't take too long for the park to start filling up.

Yes the Transformers ride is the busiest so head there first filled by the dulling coasters which are next door. If you get there at opening, and know where they are you should be ride these with minimal waiting is any. You can decide after that if it is wort investing in an Express pass.

We were there today. I wish I had bought the fast pass as I thought it wouldn't be busy - at first rides were about 20min wait within a couple of hours rides like the transformers ride were 90mins. The Jurassic park ride took us 60mins whereas the fast pass line just whizzed past and I reckon they only waited 10mins. One thing be aware of by about 530-6 the weather comes in and they may shut down the rides that are outside. We had just got of battle star galatica and it shut due to the storm coming. So make sure you go on all your favourites first.

Went there last Saturday. It was busy but didn't queue long for each ride really. Maybe 30 minutes each but I did see a 70 minute sign at Transformers later in the day. You should get around everything. Don't forget to see the Spielberg movie set show which is near Transformers and is a good option if it is raining along with Shrek etc. Go for the first water world show and any rides that may shut due to weather earlier to avoid disappointment.

The queues in the park are actually fun because most rides are very well themed with things to look at etc.

Thanks.
